The correct answer is: D. all of the above

A macromolecule is a large molecule present in the cell, composed of a huge number of monomer units with the various functions. There are four main groups: proteins (monomers are amino acids), nucleic acids (monomers are nucleotids) , lipids (monomers are free fatty acids) and carbohydrates (monomers are simple sugars such as glucose).

Some of their functions:

• Provide structure on the cellular levels-lipids (phospholipids) are the main components of the cell membrane;  

• store genetic material-nucleic acid (DNA, RNA) are the carriers of genetic information

• store energy-starch is energy source in plants;

• enzymes -proteins often are with the functionin metabolism

• etc.

Explain Why is there a net gain of onlý two ATP
NeTakaya

Answer:

<em><u>While 4 molecules of ATP are produced in total, 2 were used to convert glucose to the reactive fructose-1,6-bisphosphate</u></em>

<em></em>

<em>Thus, 4 ATP- 2ATP= 2ATP</em>

Explanation:

In the cytoplasm, cellular respiration starts, where glucose is broken down for energy production. in the presence of oxygen, energy is produced through aerobic respiration, while in an oxygen-deprived environment, anaerobic respiration can be carried out.

<em>Glucose is a relatively stable molecule, </em>thus in order for the pyruvate-producing reaction to occur, the <em>molecule undergoes phosphorylation </em>through the addition of high energy phosphate groups to drive the reaction forward.

Pyruvate is generated through glycolysis in the cytoplasm-it is oxidized to form acetyl CoA in aeroboc respration also used in fermentation (anaerobic respiration) as an electron acceptor.

1.) What gives water all its properties? 2.) What type of bond joins H2O to another H2O and forms cohesion? 3.) What property of
Yuri [45]

Answer:

1. polarity

2. hydrogen bonding

3. High heat capacity

4. Adhesion

5. polarity

6. surface tension

7. high heat vaporization

8. hydrogen bonds form a rigid and stable network

9. Water is a polar substance and fat is a nonpolar substance.

10. Cohesion

Explanation:

Water is a polar molecule that is held together by hydrogen bonds to form strong cohesive forces. This accounts for the surface tension in water. Surface tension is the force acting on water that it makes to behave like a stretched elastic skin.

The polarity of water accounts for the fact that it is found in several parts of the body where it largely plays the role of a polar solvent.

High heat capacity of water enables it to function well in the area of thermoregulation in the body. High heat vaporization accounts for the fact that water helps maintain extreme temperature changes in an area.

When in solid state, the hydrogen bonded network in water becomes rigid and forms a very stable network of water molecules. Being polar, water does  not interact with fat because like dissolves like.

In plants, the attachment of water to plant roots is known as adhesion and is necessary for the capillary movement of nutrients to plants via the root.
